Are test screenings typically longer than the final film? (zerobytes.monster)

I have just screened a film of my own (to a small handful of people, to start), and I definitely left it longer than it maybe needed to be, because I really had no objective view of what works, what could be cut, etc.

Anyways, general consensus: they liked it quite a bit (I'll trust them), but it is maybe 20 minutes too long.

I am wondering if anyone has been to, or knows of, test screenings with a notably different runtime from the final theatrical cut, and whether such changes are common. I'd love to hear about it!
